(200th Sanmar tug built to a Robert Allan

design and the world’s first Advanced

Variable Drive(AVD) tug with its unique

application of hydro-mechanical hybrid

propulsion. This AVD system allows

propeller speed independent of engine

speed so optimal engine efficiency can

be achieved leading to fuel savings of

fifteen to twenty percent. Basically, all

the benefits of a variable speed Diesel

Electric Propulsion system at a fraction

of the cost and size. It is noteworthy that

with this system the engines are smaller

than would normally be the case in a tug

of this power (3512 vs 3516 engines)).
